BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

Field of Invention

The present invention relates to camping tent, and more particularly to an inflatable easy setup camping tent for pickup truck.

Description of Related Arts

A camping tent is a portable and temporary shelter widely used for outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, backpacking, or camping. In addition, a camping tent designed for use on a pickup truck addresses multiple limitations of traditional ground tents and offers practical benefits for outdoor enthusiasts, overlanders, and travelers. The demand for such tents arises from the growing need for comfort, mobility, and safety in outdoor camping.

The conventional camping tent is generally made of fabric stretched over poles or frames. During the setup process, threading poles through long, narrow sleeves can take significantly much time since alignment must be precise, or poles can get stuck midway. Poles may snag, bend, or break during insertion if sleeves are tight or if excessive force is used. Friction between the sleeve fabric and the pole can make sliding difficult. Sleeves can flap or twist in the wind, making it harder to align and insert poles. In addition, single-person setup can be awkward and difficult.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The following description is disclosed to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the present invention. Preferred embodiments are provided in the following description only as examples and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined in the following description would be applied to other embodiments, alternatives, modifications, equivalents, and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20 of the drawings, an easy setup camping tent according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, the easy setup camping tent comprises an inflatable support assembly 10 and a tent body 20 mounted to the inflatable support assembly 10 , the tent body 20 is unfolded for use when the inflatable support assembly 10 is inflated and can be folded for storage and transportation when the inflatable support assembly 10 is deflated. Accordingly, when the inflatable support assembly 10 is inflated, the tent body 20 is automatically deployed as the tent body 20 unfolds along with the inflatable support assembly 10 , this automatic deployment mechanism significantly simplifies the setup process, allowing the user to erect the easy setup camping tent quickly and with minimal effort.

The easy setup camping tent can be placed and secured on a ground for camping, and in this embodiment, the easy setup camping tent is specifically adapted for installation and use on a pickup truck 1000 , allowing for elevated and vehicle-integrated camping functionality.

The tent body 20 can be made of flexible and waterproof material. Typical tent materials include polyester and nylon, which are widely used for their lightweight, durable, and water-resistant properties. Polyester is especially valued for its UV resistance and dimensional stability, while nylon offers superior tear strength. Oxford fabric, often used for tent floors, provides excellent abrasion resistance. To enhance waterproof performance, tent fabrics are commonly coated with polyurethane (PU) or silicone; PU-coated materials are cost-effective and reliable, whereas silicone-coated fabrics (such as silnylon) offer better water repellency and reduced weight. For ventilation and comfort, breathable fabrics and mesh can be used in inner tents.

More specifically, the tent body 20 comprises a bottom layer 21 , a top layer 22 , and an enclosing layer 23 connected between the bottom layer 21 and the top layer 22 to define a camping cavity 24 when the easy setup camping tent is in the unfolded state for camping. The inflatable support assembly 10 is mounted at an inner side of the tent body 20 , so that the inflated inflatable support assembly 10 can brace the tent body 20 from inside to deploy the tent body 20 . In addition, the inflatable support assembly 10 is not exposed to outside, but is disposed in the tent body 20 , so that the aesthetic appearance of the easy setup camping tent in the unfolded state is also enhanced. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the inflatable support assembly 10 also may be connected at an outer side of the tent body 20 .

The integration of the inflatable support assembly 10 inside the tent body 20 provides internal bracing, resulting in a self-supporting and stable structure once inflated. This eliminates the need for external guy lines, rigid poles, or complex assembly steps, making it ideal for quick deployment. Accordingly, as the inflatable support assembly 10 inflates, it automatically lifts and shapes the tent body 20 into its intended form, simplifying setup and saving significant time and effort, particularly in poor weather or low-light conditions. When deflated, the inflatable support assembly 10 collapses inward, allowing the tent body 20 to be easily folded into a compact form for efficient storage and transport.

As shown in FIGS. 18 to 20 , the pickup truck 1000 comprises a cab 1001 which is the front part of the pickup truck 1000 where the driver and passengers sit and a truck bed 1002 used for carrying cargoes, the easy setup camping tent of the present invention can be placed on the truck bed 1002 at a rear side of the cab 1001 for camping use.

In the present invention, a front side of the easy setup camping tent is defined as a side adjacent to the cab 1001 of the pickup truck 1000 , a rear side of the easy setup camping tent is defined as a side away from the cab 1001 of the pickup truck 1000 .

The truck bed 1002 comprises a floor wall 10021 and a plurality of side walls 10022 connected to the floor wall 10021 to define a bed cavity 10023 , the easy setup camping tent can be placed on the floor wall 10021 and installed at the bed cavity 10023 . Accordingly, the side walls 10022 act as natural barriers that limit lateral shifting of the easy setup camping tent caused by strong winds or user movement inside. This built-in containment reduces the risk of tent dislodgement or collapse during adverse weather or while sleeping. Because the side walls 10022 of the truck bed 1002 serve as part of the support system of the easy setup camping tent, there is less reliance on external tie-downs, stakes, or guy lines, so that it is especially useful on hard or uneven terrain where traditional tent anchoring is difficult or impossible. The easy setup camping tent can be quickly dropped into place and aligned with the fixed side boundaries of the truck bed 1002 , streamlining the installation process.

The pickup truck 1000 may comprise two or more wheel wells 1003 protruded and raised from the floor wall 10021 of the truck bed 1002 . As shown in FIG. Of the drawings, two wheel wells 1003 are respectively extended from two sides of the floor wall 10021 for holding two wheels. The tent body 20 comprises two or more raised wheel well covers 25 which are protruded from the bottom layer 21 of the tent body 20 for covering the two or more wheel wells 1003 . In other words, the bottom of the tent body 20 is not a flat, uninterrupted surface, but instead includes locally raised portions, the wheel well covers 25 , which are adapted to fit over and around the wheel wells 1003 , allowing the tent body 20 to be securely and snugly placed on the truck bed 1002 without interference or deformation.

By conforming precisely to the structural features of the truck bed 1002 , specifically the raised wheel wells 1003 , the tent body 20 avoids bunching, warping, or misalignment. This ensures full contact and support across the tent bottom, enhancing structural integrity and user comfort. The integration of raised wheel well covers 25 helps the easy setup camping tent fit securely into the contour of the truck bed 1002 , reducing the risk of shifting or sliding during use or in windy conditions.

Because the wheel well covers 25 are pre-formed into the bottom layer 21 of the tent body 20 , there is no need for manual adjustments or additional structural modifications during setup. The tent body 20 can be quickly and intuitively aligned with the truck bed contours, speeding up installation. The tailored fit over the wheel wells 10003 also allows for better sealing against rain and wind infiltration through the bottom of the tent body 20 .

In addition, rather than wasting interior space or requiring additional leveling structures, the easy setup camping tent of the present invention utilizes the existing truck bed geometry, including the wheel wells 1003 . This results in maximized usable interior volume and headroom within the camping cavity.

With the wheel wells 1003 properly covered and integrated into the tent bottom, the user can experience a flatter and more even floor surface inside the tent body 20 . This contributes to improved comfort for sleeping and sitting, even when the tent body 20 is installed over non-flat truck bed surfaces.

The enclosing layer 23 of the tent body 20 comprises a front enclosing wall 231 , a rear enclosing wall 232 , and two side enclosing walls 233 extended between the front enclosing wall 231 and the rear enclosing wall 232 . Each raised wheel well cover 25 , which is extended from the bottom layer 21 and the corresponding side enclosing wall 233 , comprises a top cover wall 251 connected to the corresponding side enclosing wall 233 and the bottom layer 21 and a side cover wall 252 extended between the top cover wall 251 and the bottom layer 21 to define a wheel well cavity 253 at a bottom of the wheel well cover 25 for holding the corresponding wheel well 1003 , as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 .

Each wheel well 1003 comprises a top surface 10031 and a side surface 10032 , the top surface 10031 is a curved surface. The top cover wall 251 of the wheel well cover 25 can be covered on the top surface 10031 of the corresponding wheel well 1003 , the side cover wall 252 of the wheel well cover 25 can be covered on the side surface 10032 of the corresponding wheel well 1003 . The top cover wall 251 of the wheel well cover 25 is embodied to have a curvature matched with the top surface 10031 of the corresponding wheel well 1003 . As an example, the top cover wall 251 of the wheel well cover 25 and the top surface 10031 of the corresponding wheel well 1003 can be embodied as arched surfaces.

The enclosing layer 23 of the tent body 20 further comprises a door layer 234 which is coupled to the rear enclosing wall 232 to define an access opening 235 communicated to the camping cavity 24 . The access opening 235 provides user entry and exit to and from the camping cavity 24 . A zipper means can be connected between the door layer 234 and the rear enclosing wall 232 , the zipper means may be a full-perimeter or partial-perimeter closure system, allowing the door layer 234 to be selectively opened or sealed along its edges. This access opening 235 can thus be opened for ingress and egress or securely closed to ensure privacy, protection from the environment, and enclosure of the interior space.

The zipper means provided between the door layer 234 and the rear enclosing wall 232 is preferred to be configured to be operable from both the exterior and the interior of the tent body 20 . That is, the zipper means can be accessed and actuated by the user who is either outside the tent or already inside the camping cavity 24 . This dual-sided operability is achieved through the use of double zipper pulls or equivalent mechanisms installed along the zipper track. Accordingly, the zipper means may comprise a zipper track formed by a pair of interlocking teeth strips, each attached to a respective edge portion of the door layer 234 and the rear enclosing wall 232 of the tent body 20 . The interlocking teeth may be formed from plastic or metal and are configured to engage and disengage through the movement of a slider mechanism. The slider mechanism is preferably a dual-head zipper slider, meaning it includes two zipper pulls positioned on opposite sides of the slider body, one facing the exterior of the tent and the other facing the interior. This configuration allows the user to open or close the zipper from either side of the tent body 20 .

As shown in FIG. 4 of the drawings, the enclosing layer 23 of the tent body 20 may further comprise a mesh wall 236 positioned at an inner side of the door layer 234 . When the door layer 234 is in the opened state, the mesh wall 236 can be in the closed state so as to allow the ventilation of the camping cavity 24 , thereby covering the access opening 235 while allowing airflow and ventilation into the camping cavity 24 . The mesh wall 236 may be formed of a breathable, fine-gauge mesh fabric capable of preventing the entry of insects, leaves, or debris while permitting air circulation. A separate zipper or fastening mechanism may be included to open or secure the mesh wall 236 independently of the outer door layer 234 .

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 , the enclosing layer 23 of the tent body 20 may further comprise an upper enclosing wall 237 connected to a top edge of the rear enclosing wall 232 and is positioned above the door layer 234 , the rear enclosing wall 232 comprises an upper end portion 2321 having one or more vent holes 2322 , the upper enclosing wall 237 is covered on the upper end portion 2321 of the rear enclosing wall 232 , one or more support struts 238 can be provided between the upper enclosing wall 237 and the upper end portion 2321 of the rear enclosing wall 232 to be in a transverse support state to allow the upper enclosing wall 237 and the upper end portion 2321 of the rear enclosing wall 237 to be spaced apart from each other to expose the vent holes 2322 , so as to allow airflow and ventilation into the camping cavity 24 when the door layer 234 is in the closed state to close the access opening 235 when the user is sleeping in the tent body 20 .

One end of each support strut 238 is fixed to one of the upper enclosing wall 237 and the upper end portion 2321 of the rear enclosing wall 232 while the other end thereof is detachably fixed to the other of the upper enclosing wall 237 and the upper end portion 2321 of the rear enclosing wall 232 , so that when each support strut 328 is connected and supported between the upper enclosing wall 237 and the upper end portion 2321 of the rear enclosing wall 232 in the transverse support state, the upper enclosing wall 237 is in an inclined state, so as to create a gap between the upper enclosing wall 237 and the upper end portion 2321 of the rear enclosing wall 232 .

In addition, the inclined upper enclosing wall 237 facilitates rainwater drainage by allowing water to slide off the surface of the upper enclosing wall 237 rather than accumulate on it, thereby preventing water pooling and maintaining the structural and functional integrity of the tent body 20 , so that even with the vent holes 2322 being open, the overlapping upper enclosing wall 237 provides a protective overhang, preventing rainwater from entering the tent body 20 . Accordingly, the inclined upper enclosing wall 237 not only supports effective passive ventilation through the vent holes but also serves as a water-shedding surface, thus combining airflow and weatherproofing in a single design.

The tent body 20 further comprises a plurality of shielding layers 26 which are mounted to and covered on the side walls 10022 of the truck bed 1002 , so as to form protective flaps or skirts that are adapted to block or divert rainwater away from the base of the tent body 20 . When rainwater flows down along the surface of the enclosing layer 23 , the shielding layers 26 effectively channel the water away from the tent structure, reducing the likelihood of water ingress into the camping cavity 24 . The shielding layers 26 help protect the lower seams and stitching from prolonged moisture exposure, thereby prolonging the lifespan of the tent body 20 .

As shown in FIG. 10 , the bottom layer 21 of the tent body 20 is formed with a peripheral flange 211 which is a turned-up edge along its outer boundary. This protective peripheral flange 211 is designed to extend upwardly at the junction where the bottom layer 21 is joined with the enclosing layer 23 . The purpose of this peripheral flange 211 is to shield the seam or connection area between the bottom layer 21 and the enclosing layer 23 from abrasion, friction, or mechanical wear that may occur during setup, use, or transportation of the tent. By preventing direct exposure and contact with the ground or other abrasive surfaces, the peripheral flange 211 significantly reduces the risk of material fatigue or tearing at the seam, thereby preventing potential water ingress into the camping cavity 24 .

The tent body 20 further comprises a fixing unit 27 which may comprise a plurality of fixing elements 271 , such as hook elements, which can be fixed on the tent body 20 for fixing the tent body 20 to the pickup truck 1000 . The fixing unit 27 may comprise a fixing layer 272 , multiple hooks elements can be mounted to the fixing layer 272 for being hooked on the truck parts under the truck bed 1002 . The fixing layer 272 can be connected to one of the bottom layer 21 , the top layer 22 and the enclosing layer 23 . In this embodiment, the fixing layer 272 is connected to the rear enclosing wall 232 at a position under the door layer 234 . The fixing layer 272 can be covered on a rear end of the truck bed 1002 when easy setup camping tent is in the unfolded use state.

The tent body 20 is further equipped with air conditioning inlet and outlet ports 28 that are configured to connect to an external air conditioning unit. Specifically, at least one air inlet port and one air outlet port are integrally formed on the enclosing layer 23 of the tent body 20 . These ports allow for bidirectional airflow, enabling cool or warm air to be directed into the camping cavity 24 and exhaust air to be expelled out efficiently.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 14 to 17 , the inflatable support assembly 10 comprises a rear frame 11 , a front frame 12 , a top frame 13 connected between the rear frame 11 and the front frame 12 , and a frame connecting structure 14 connecting the rear frame 11 to the front frame 12 . Preferably, the inflatable support assembly 10 comprises a plurality of air columns 101 which are integrated and interconnected with each other to form the rear frame 11 , the front frame 12 , the top frame 13 and the frame connecting structure 14 . These air columns 101 may be fabricated from durable and airtight polymer materials, such as TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and are designed to withstand repeated inflation and deflation without deformation or air leakage.

More specifically, the rear frame 11 comprises two rear stand columns 111 and a rear upper column 112 extended between the two rear stand columns 111 , the rear upper column 112 can be a curved column which is integrally extended from two upper ends of the two rear stand columns 111 , so that the rear frame 111 can be constructed to have an inverted U-shape. Actually, the rear frame 11 in this embodiment is an arch frame. Alternatively, the rear upper column 112 also can be a flat straight column horizontally and linearly extended between the two rear stand columns 111 when the rear frame 11 is inflated.

The front frame 12 comprises two front stand columns 121 and a front upper column 122 extended between the two front stand columns 121 , the front upper column 122 can be a curved column which is integrally extended from two upper ends of the two front stand columns 121 . In this embodiment, the front upper column 122 is embodied as a flat straight column horizontally and linearly extended between the two front stand columns 121 when the front frame 12 is inflated.

In this embodiment, the rear upper column 112 has a top position 1121 which is higher than the front upper column 122 , so that the top frame 13 connected between the rear upper column 112 of the rear frame 11 and the front upper column 122 of the front frame 12 is gradually slope downward along a direction from the rear frame 11 to the front frame 12 when the inflatable support assembly 10 is inflated, so that the top layer 22 of the tent body 20 covered on the top frame 13 will also be gradually slope downward along the direction from the rear frame 11 to the front frame 12 when the easy setup camping tent is in the unfolded, erected state. As shown in FIG. 2 of the drawings, the top layer 22 has a rear end 221 and a front end 222 which is lower than the rear end 221 in the unfolded state, a main body of the top layer 22 between the rear end 221 and the front end 222 is gradually slope downward along the direction from the rear frame 11 to the front frame 12 .

The sloped configuration of the top layer 22 ensures that rainwater or condensation does not accumulate on the roof surface of the tent body 20 . Instead, water is naturally directed downward toward the front side, thereby minimizing pooling, which could otherwise lead to leakage, sagging, or structural collapse over time.

The front side of the top layer 22 , being lower than the rear side, is positioned closer to the cab 1001 of the pickup truck 1000 when the tent body 20 is mounted at the truck bed 1002 . This orientation ensures that oncoming airflow (wind resistance) during vehicle movement impacts a lower surface of the tent roof, thereby reducing wind drag. This aerodynamic benefit contributes to improved fuel efficiency, reduced wind noise, and greater overall stability.

A front end 1312 of the first top column 131 and a front end 1322 of the second top column 132 can be respectively connected to joint positions between the front upper column 122 and the front stand columns 121 , so that the top frame 13 is embodied as a triangle frame, the top layer 22 of the tent body 20 is also can be shaped as a triangle layer.

Along the direction from the rear frame 11 to the front frame 12 , both of the first top column 131 and the second top column 132 gradually slope downward, so that the top frame 13 forms a rear-high, front-low inclined roof structure. The use of a triangular frame enhances the mechanical stability of the top structure. Triangular configurations are inherently rigid, offering resistance to deformation under external loads such as wind or rain. The downward slope of the top columns from rear to front ensures efficient rainwater runoff, preventing accumulation of water on the top layer 22 , which reduces risks of leakage, sagging, or tent collapse due to pooling. The forward slope of the top layer 22 creates a streamlined surface facing the cab 1001 of the pickup truck 1000 , thereby reducing air resistance and minimizing drag.

Alternatively, the rear end 1311 of the first top column 131 and the rear end 1321 of the second top column 132 can be connected to different positions of the rear upper column 112 of the rear frame 11 , so that the top frame may form a trapezoidal like configuration.

The rear stand columns 111 of the rear frame 11 are respectively mounted to joint positions between the rear enclosing wall 232 and the side enclosing walls 233 , forming the front corner support structure. The front stand columns 121 of the front frame 12 are respectively mounted to joint positions between the front enclosing wall 231 and the side enclosing walls 233 , forming the front corner support structure. This arrangement ensures a stable rectangular footprint for the inflatable camping tent and enhances the integration of the inflatable support assembly 10 with the enclosing layer 23 of the tent body 20 .

The first top column 131 and the second top column 132 can be arranged at joint positions between the top layer 22 and the two side enclosing walls 233 . In other words, each of the first and second top columns 131 and 132 is positioned proximate to the upper corners where the top layer 22 transitions into the side enclosing walls 233 . This arrangement provides structural support along the upper lateral edges of the tent body 20 , reinforcing the tent shape and enhancing resistance to lateral wind forces or external loads acting on the roof portion.

The tent body 20 further comprises a plurality of mounting sleeves 29 which are respectively connected to the enclosing layer 23 or the top layer 22 of the tent body 20 for mounting the air columns 101 of the inflatable support assembly 10 .
